In the Mojave Desert there is a small unincorporated community of Argus next to Trona that sets the scene for the little abandoned areas of the North American West.

Making up part of the Searles Valley in California, these homes are long boarded up, forgotten, set ablaze, ransacked and used as art canvases. One building even as a Spongebob Mural so keep your eyes peeled for the sponge and sea star arm in arm on a forgotten white door.
